Why undoing the 'tangled nest' of Iran sanctions won't be easy or quick for the US (opens original article in a new tab)

Unwinding US sanctions on Iran faces complex legal, political, and commercial challenges that could take years, despite a 60-day reprieve offering potential billions in economic relief.

• Tehran could gain billions from a 60-day US sanctions reprieve but unwinding 40+ years of restrictions faces legal, political, and commercial challenges.
• The US and Iran's 14-point MoU aims to abolish sanctions via a final deal, requiring executive action, congressional approval, and coordination with international bodies.
• Companies face risks of sanctions evasion, lawsuits, and reputational damage, making large-scale investment in Iran unlikely without political stability.
